Event 2025 US Nationals Junior Women Day 1 (Friday, August 8, 2025)

[MaryClare]

Sophia Buechler is just so painful to watch. So sloppy, her quality of movement is atrocious, and she doesn't even have big difficulty to make up for all her other shortcomings.

She would be a middling level 10 at best. I don't understand this pursuit of elite at all.

100%

 

[MaryClare]

I LOVE the gage leotard. It’s beautiful

 

[Passion]

Any international assignments being given to juniors based on this meet?

They named the team for Junior Pan Am Games at US Classic.

After that the next junior international meets aren't until November.

 

[Passion]

I like this Pacific Reign leo on Espy Chang. I wonder if Hang and Rose will wear the same thing tonight.

 

[RedBirdie]

I would have been serious money that Aulya Daniels transferred to GAGE. Never seen a GAGE gymnast with such poor leaps, yet apparently she's been there for years.

Lavi Crain pulled out of floor and vault. I hope it was the plan and not an injury

Hopefully after the low BB score they decided to just rest her for Pan Ams.

 

[MaryClare]

Can someone explain to me why the best juniors are only competing one day?

Charleigh Bullock needs to send Lavi a thank you card.

They are doing a big international meet very soon I believe.

 

[Passion]

Can someone explain to me why the best juniors are only competing one day?

Are they? I see everyone but VanGrinsven on the start list for Day 2.

Lavi Crain, Charleigh Bullock, Addalye VanGrinsven, Kylie Smith, and Addy Fulcher have Pan Am Games next week.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Are there still national team spots up for grabs?

 

[RedBirdie]

Addy Fulcher looks so sluggish.

She seriously needs to drop back down and focus on getting offers for college. Elite is not her future. I’m all for pursuing dreams but they should be realistic as well.

 

[RedBirdie]

Really, Phantom of the Opera? And this choreo has zero relation to the music.

The current juniors are, on the whole, utterly uninspiring.

 

[rlayt]

It’s too late for her to fix anything except that damn music that sounds like noise.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Yeah there are always some juniors trying to "play" elite and some just don't have that little extra something needed. Only a handful will actually accomplish something in seniors. But fun to try I guess.

 

[RedBirdie]

Valeri has Isabella Anzola doing her best Hezley Rivera impression with the beam dismount. Yikes.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Valeri gonna Valeri

 

[Laura722]

13.600 for Anzola on beam, highest of the day so far. I really like her.
